Their turn soon came, and they made glad the hearts of the ladies by their enthusiastic onslaught on the commissariat. This company will proceed to Manila with the second expedition for the purpose of rebuilding the fortifi tions at Cavite and ships. The Eighteenth Infantry came in shortly after noon and were t tifully provided for as the had been, and @ ding rang with s Soclety.

The thousands of vis- itors battled with great disadvantage against the wind and dust. Despite this, however, numberless curious and eager people passed continuously thrcugh the fous camps. bbath was observed in nearly all of the different regimental camps, and in those in which no services were held the soldiers were permitted to go to church or to attend the service in some neighboring camp. In the Seventh the chaplain, Captain Clark, held service at 10 m. The companies were marched into the regimental street,‘where a short service was read to them. The band played “My Country, 'Tis of Thee,” and the men san(. Chaplain Clark preached from Proverbs, 1v:23, “Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of lite.” He referred to the death of Private Pruett, who died last week of pneumonia, and alluded to Memorial day and the heroic patriotism that its exer- cises commemorate. Father Yorke, assisted by Father Mac- Donald, held services in a tent erected at the southeast corner of the Kansas camp by the Sisters of the Holy Yair. The League of the Cross Cadet Band ren- dered the music. Services were held in the camp of the First Colorado by Chaplain Fleming, and also in the First Nebraska by Chaplain Moilly. The men of the latter regiment were excused from noon until retreat by Colonel Bratt, and the boys all took advantage of the op- ortunfty to visit the various points of nterest about the camp. The Kansas Regiment yesterday re- celved a large amount of supplies from the quartermaster’s department, includ- ing shoes, shirts, socks and underwear. The nstruments for the band have also been purchased with the donations by al30ars Ready Ruligl for Spiins, Brulses. | generous Kansas cltizens, and, vesterday Bors Mynclon, Ore Py e ihenmatiars, New, | he band played for the Tret Co0tet Tas. valglu, Lumbago.

The Seventh Regiment also recelved its ordnance and ammunition yesterday. The regiment is now-completely equipped and Colonel Berry is pr pared for field ser- vice at a moment’s notice. The Union League Club has extended to all the commissioned officers of Camp Richmond the courtesy of the club. The concert by the band of the First Colorado yesterday afternoon drew a large crowd. National and sacred airs were beautifully rendered. e MORAL FORCES ALERT. The Christian Endeavor Union Begins Good Work in Camp. The Christian Endeavorers have found large numbers of their members among the various Eastern regiments of volun- teers now at Camp Richmond. In one of the Kansas companies forty out of the eighty-three men belong to the organiza- tion and have formed a Christian En- deavor Society of their own. One of the Minneapolis companies has thirteen young men from one small that city, headed by Sidney Pratt, son of Mayor Pratt of that city. The California State Union has seized the opportunity to institute a system of reading and writing rooms in the camp, where the men, regardless of religion, creed or color, may. gather to read Of write letters home. These tents are furs -d_with pen, ink, pencils, paper and opes to be used free of charge, and op a supply of stamps and postal cards on_hand for sale. General Merritt and General Otis have sanctioned the plan and allowed space in each regiment for the erection of tents. The work Is in direct charge of Miss Min- dora L. Berry, State superintendent of missions, and she is ably assisted by a large corps of workers from Golden Gate Christian day ladi Endeavor Unfon. During the s will be in charge of the tents. | The tents may also be used at certain times for praise services If a desire is expressed Dy the men for such at any time. The general headquarters have been es- tablished in the tent of the Kansas Regi ment, but Monday will be transferred to Scott & McCloud’s warehouse, where the citizens of San Francisco may send all the reading matter they have at hand, and it will be distributed from time to time in the various regiments as necded, There is a large demand for reading mat- ter by the 900 men now In camp, and it v take large quantities to fill the de- expense of this work will be co: siderable, but the State Unifon feels that the demand is one not to be overlook and the officers have no doubt but th: the local members and societies will give freely to the work. A call will be issued to Miss Berry at 760A Harrison street. Mrs. C. 8. Wright has issued a call for a mass meeting 0f Christian mothers, to be held in the Endeavor headquarters Tuesday at 2 p. m., to assist the young people in thelr good work. The older members of all the city churches are in- vited to attend and seé the need and ap- preciation of the soldier boys for all of the efforts bef by the citizens of California. One of the surprising features of the big army camp being established in the city is the inabilily of book concerns to supply the demands for chea; the New Testament. The been simply enormous. Not only in the city, but from all over the State orders | are pouring In from dealers who have numerous calls which they cannot supply. At present it is said there are none to be had in San Francisco. The greater demand for these Testa- ments comes from the makers of the com- fort bags, as each of these has a Testa- ment alonig with the other useful articles, and the cheap edition is desired, as they take up less room and can be carried {n any pocket without the least inconveni- ence. —_—— THE FIELD HOSPITAL. Every Comfort and Attention Provided for the Sick. To-day will see the completion of the big fleld hospital of Camp Richmond, and it is about as nearly complete as any field hospital can possibly be. The loca- tion is somewhat removed from the camp proper, but there will be every facility for attenwng to the sick. The hospital is located just west of the Montana Regi- ment and is bounded by Point Lobos, Jordan, Michigan and California avenues. The hospital covers an entire square and for the present it will be under the fh”geLo‘sC?mn Owen and Lieutenant Page, U. S. A It has three large double hospital tents, facing on Point Lobos avenue, that are capable of accommodating forty men. To the west of these is the chief steward's tent, while to the east on Point Lobos avenue s erected the medical officers’ headquarters. In the middle of the field are the large conical tents that will hold twenty men. There are fifteen of these and they will be used for the less serious CASTORIA For Infants and Children. 08 every WIapp | has an abundant supply of fresh water.

On Jordan avenue is the isolation tent for contagious cases, while two tents have also been erected near this one to be used for the measle cases, of which there are now quite a number in the camp. The fleld hospital is well drained and it is well located with a view of drain- age and protection from the afternoon winds, belng protected - largely by the Geary-street cable shops. There will be a detall of stewards from each regiment to assist the surgeons and no visitors wiil be allowed access to the fleld. i e b SOLDIERS TO PARADE. Seventh California and First Colorado in Line To-day. The Seventh Californfa and First Col- orado Regiments will to-day participate in the Memorial day exercises. Colonels Berry and Hale yesterday recelved the following order: Pursuant to the request of the Memorial Day committee of the Grand Army of the Republie, the First Colorado and Seventh Cali- fornia Regiments of the Unii S teers are directed to partici templated Memorial Day on Monday next, the 30th ant. The First Colorado, Colonél Irving Hale commanding, will report with his regiment at the Palace Hotel on Market street at 9:30 a. m. of that day, when the necessary instructions as to place in line and route of march wiil be given. The Seventh California, Colonel John R. Ber- ry commanding, will form on Central avenue and escort the members of General George H. as Post to the cemetery Time fon and line of ma g1 ts already made b which have been duly communicated to him. In accordance with the further request of the same committee, Captain Richard W. Young, commanding the Utah regiment of light artillery will fire a salute of twenty-one min- ute guns from or near the grounds where his command !s encamped, between the hours of 11 a. m. and 1 o'clock p. m. on Monday next— the definite time for firing the first gun will be communicated to him by n officer con- nected with the parade formation. By com- mand df Major General Otls. THOMAS H. BARRY, Assistant Adjutant General. e con- de in this city ss ordered to do so, although all of them are willing to do honor to the na- tion’s dead. The parade will form at the Presidlo gate o) entral avenue and the Seventh Regiment will leave camp at 9 o'clock. Lo AAa CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH. The Examiner Taken to Task by Utah Artillerists for Pub- lishing a Yellow Fake. The vellow journal is at 1t again. After publishing a blood-curdling fake on Sat- urday morning regarding the pofsoning of men in the First Nebraska Regiment, vesterday it published an article regard- in the Light Utah Battalion in which the facts were so distorted that the officers position of being at loggerheads over the division of the company fund, the men mutinous, ill treated and half starved, and the officers painted as unsympa- thetic and merciless autocrat The facts In the case are as follows: The battalion left Salt Lake City with a purse of $800 raised by a committee for the benefit of the men enlisted from that and county. Captalns Young and Grant were em{mwere by the committee to distribute the money equally among the two batteries for such men as it was intended. _Saturday, at the suggestion of Captain Young, the men held a meeting. The captain submitted the proposition that the money should be used as a com- pany fund and kept for cases of emer- gency, and that such men as were not beneficiaries of the purse under the reso- lution of the committee should at the next two pay days put in their pro rata amount and all have an_equal share in the purse, The men, after considering Captain. Young's proposal, stated that they would like to borrow the entire purse and pay it back out of their money at the next two pay days. This Captain Young refused to consider, as he was empowered to disburse the purse as he thought best, and he thought the men would spend it for articles they really did not-need, and that the batteries would be without funds when they left here. However, he gave each man in his company $3, and Captain Grant distrib uted $2 among his men. There is no dis- satisfaction among the men and they are well fed and have plenty of fresh meat. This statement is made by The Call at the request of Captains Young and Grant, who desire that the truth may be known. g t3st v CALIFORNIA RANGERS. The First Battalion Drilled and Inspected on Van Ness Avenue. The First Battalion of the California Rangers was put through a number of evolutions on Van Ness avenue yesterday afternoon, and considering the fact that they have just been organized, they made a most creditable showing. They are a fine body of men and have been selected for their horsemanship and marksman- ship. The four companies are in_ com- mand respectively of Captains Waller, Lewis, Lockhart and Ross. After being put through their evolutions they were in- spected by General Hart and Colonel George W. Fox. The Second Battallon has its headquar- ters at Healdsburg and the Third Bat- talion at San Luls Obispo. The regiment could be mustered In for service In five days, and as it has been recommended by the California delegation General Hart expects to receive orders from Vashing- ton this week to have the regiment in readiness for active service. The Rangers will be really mounted rifiemen, and an effort will be made to have them armed with the Lee rifie. They will be serviceable as cavalry, artillery or infantry. Each company will consist of 100 men. Colonel Fox and most of the officers of the regiment have seen service in the civil war. A COLORADO KICK. Yellow Journalism Gets That . Regiment Mixed Up With the Minnesotans. The Bditor of The Call: The Examiner of Saturday morning stated that the Min- nesota Regiment would give a dress pa- rade that evening, the first ceremony of the kind to be held in camp. This morn- fng it said “the dress parade of the Min- nesota Regiment was the feature of the day,” and highly praised the appearance of the troops and execution of the move- ments and manual. The above State- ments are correct and very satistactory except that the word “Coloradg” should be substituted for “Minnesota,” and it chould be explained that instéad of be- ing the first parade In camp it was merely the regular parade given daily by the Colorado Regiment since its arrival. We are here for work, and not espect- ally seeking newspaper notoriety, but as fhe Examiner saw fit to speak in such complimentary terms of our parade, we Wwould like to have the above correction made as a matter of justice and infor- 2 to the public. mation o the P4 ORADO PRIVATE. - War Incidents. Major Choate, surgeon of the Seventh California Regiment, was hesieged by a host of callers yesterday, whom he enter- tained most delightfully in his quarters. Among them was Mrs, Joseph Wolfskill and her daughter, accompanied by the es Talbott, Butte Mont. Mrs. Wolfs- from Los Angeles, where she holds kill i full sway in the social circles of that city, and where her daughter is recognized as one of the reigning belles. With their usual patriotism and gener- osity, the ladies of the Hebrew Sewing Soclety have espoused the cause of the “boys in blue’ and will meet on Tues- day and Wednesday, at Saratoga Hall, and devote those entire days to the mak- of caps and bandages. The ladies have unlimited material on hand and ex- pect to turn out many dozens of the need- ed articles. Arapahoe Tribe of the Tmproved Order of Red Men has decided to pay the tribal Ques and assessments in the endowment fund of any of its members who have gone to the war or who may enlist. The fiproved Order of Red Men in this city will establish a free reading room at Camp Richmond for the benefit of the Volunteers, and the members of Arapa- hoe Tribe are taking an active part in the movement. Tnion Council of the Natlonal Union, at its meeting last Friday night, donated §10 to the Red Cross Society, and the membership was informed that any one of the council going to the front will be maintained in good standing while in the service of the United States. Toxcelsior Circle of the Companions of the Forest of America on last Saturday Visited Camp Richmond and distributed & large amount of food to the soldiers.

Fred Stream, who a short time ago Itolla n.hnumber of watches valued at sev- eral thousand dollars from Hi smith & Field, jewelers, by whom.r?;n:vaur_; employed, and who was arrested in Ta- coma by a brother of Mr. Hammersmith, arrived here last night on the steamer Topeka and was turned over to Detec- tives Dillon and Crockett, He was taken to the City Prison and booked on a charge of grand larceny. Stream was employed by the jewelry firm in the capacity of watch repafrer. During an evil moment he appropriated the most costly watches which were in his care and pawned them, realizing only a small amount. With the proceeds of his crime he went to Seaftle, where he was traced by Charles Hammersmith. Before the latter reached the Queen City Stream, evidently knowing that he was | being followed, took the steamer for Ta- coma. Hammersmith pursued him, flnal- ly overtaking him as he was about to dis- embark from the steamer. Stream offer. ed no objection when told that he would have to accompany Hammersmith to this t; y. . They took passage on the steamer To- peka, arriving here last night. Shortly after Stream disappeared from this city the detectives recovered several of the watches where they had been pawned by the thieving watchmaker. To-day they expect to get the others, as they know where they were sold. Stream readily admitted his guilt, and attributed his downfall to his penchant for horse racing and liquor. He told the detectives that he had pawned the most valuable watch in Seatfle, receiving a small amount for it. The tickets for the other watches which he pawned were found in his possession. — e BORNE TO THE CEMETERY. Last Rites Over the Body of the Late Mrs. F. M. Pixley.
